[Verse 1]
      E       G        D     E              G           D
I can see the harbor lights, looks like the fourth of July
E     G           D                 A
Maybe Christmas night, reflected in water
E G     D   E   D         D
  In my cell, behind this wall
E  G        D                             A   A7sus4 Gmaj7/A
 I share my time, with many a soul who is lost


[Chorus]
C           G           D
 Why must I always be a loser
C            G         C  D
 Why can't I ever be a winner


[Verse 2]
E    G     D   E      G       D
 And so as time, goes rolling by
E  G       D                     A
 I lose my chance, it's only one life
   E         G           D
If I had the wings of an angel
     E            G             D
O'er these prison walls I would fly
E G                 D                 A    A7sus4 Gmaj7/A
  Straight from the darkness into the light


[Chorus]
C           G           D
 Why must I always be a loser
C            G         C  D
 Why can't I ever be a winner


[Verse 3]
E G                          D
  My dearest darling, as I'm writing you this letter
E G                          D
  They're coming to take me away
E G                                       D
  They're beginning to shave my head now, sweetheart, but as their doing it, I just want you to know
E                        G            D
 That I wouldn't have it any other way
E    G                             D
 I'm glad that I killed your mother
         E         G            D
She was a low-down dirty old hag
E               G                         D
 But in the end darling you will get your revenge
                       E                   G                        D
Because you see the're gonna send you my belongings in a plastic bag


[Outro]
E G       D
  La, la, la
E  G       D
 A plastic bag
